SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE LAWS

Balmoral Legal Family Lawyers Will Assist You to Resolve Your Spousal Maintenance Problem

Spousal maintenance is the financial support that one party may be required to pay to the other after their relationship breaks down. The Family Court has the power to order one party to pay spousal maintenance to the other party if and only if:

  • One person is unable to support themselves adequately: and
  • The other person is reasonably able to provide such support.

 

There are many reasons as to why a person may not be able to support themselves after separation. These include being unable to work due to age, ill-health, the lack of skills or commitment to care for a child of the relationship or marriage who is under 18 years of age. It is important to note that spousal maintenance is not child support. The Family Court can make orders for the payment of spousal maintenance in addition to any child support that is already required to be paid. The obligation to pay spousal maintenance survives divorce and specific time limits apply.
